HBO series directors Bill Hader, Miguel Sapochnik, Salli Richardson-Whitfield, Bridget Stokes and Antonio Campos joined a Meet the Makers panel at‘s FYC Fest to discuss their origin stories in the entertainment sphere and tease the futures of their beloved programs.
Hader explained how his first PA gig was on a film called “Two Little Heroes,” followed by jobs on bigger-name movies like “Collateral Damage” and the original “Spider-Man.” As a PA on the film “K-PAX,” Hader was even advised to go home after he failed to lock up a set, resulted in two wandering monkeys from “Planet of the Apes” interrupting a take. “I was not a good PA,” he concluded.
Now, Sapochnik boasts director and executive producer titles on “House of the Dragon,” while Hader is the star, director, co-creator, writer and executive producer of “Barry.” In spite of the accolades possessed by each of the event’s panelists, “The Gilded Age” and “Winning Time” director Richardson-Whitfield emphasized that self-doubt never goes away.
